BRU infrastructure: future

[brusselsairlinesfan]

And another design for the connector at Brussels Airport, this time from Abscis.
How many designs have we seen (on the internet)? 3, 4?

See for pictures:

Really no news yet on a final decision and when works should start?

This one is my favourite so far... a good compromise between the current buildings & a blink of an eye to the future!

One of the best secrets of the airport;-)

In meantime more info about the Jetairfly project on the airport.

As we al knew since a while they are builing on the ground of former Hangar 40.

Jetairfly stated in their pressrelease that they will have two mainbuilding in Belgium: Zaventem and Oostende. They will centralize some departments who are now spread over Flanders.

And their building looks very nice with a connection with the hangar. It will give space to one B787 and one B737 or 3 B737 and even a B777 and A350 is possible.
Arcitect office is Jaspers/Eyers

I'm afraid the picture doesn't show: it is a link to a site that does not allow that.

As an additional post to my former one about the increased activities of DHL at Brussels Airport, I can add now a new investment.

Since a couple of weeks at Brucargo West they started with the construction of a new, hypermodern construction of 23.000m². Total area will be 27.000m²
DHL Global Forwarding will move all activities to this place.

What does this mean for the other existing DHL-buildings. E.g. the one near the bus station level...this building looks already very empty...

In the ((very) far) future a terminal expansion will be build at this area.

how can they need more space than before with half the tonnage ?

The investment will be made by DHL Global Forwarding and not DHL Express (the courrier company). DGF needs a bigger warehouse as their activities are now scattered over 3 buildings (the result of taking over other companies like Exel a few years ago).

Hi OO-ITR,

The building of DHL aviation at the terminal is not involved in this case.
The new building at Brucargo West is a landside building and the purpose is to centralise everything what we can find of them at Brucargo in general. If you see now how growed they have to work and how dangerous it is (trucks, cars, busses after the second roundabout), it was more then urgent that they could use a new building. Those elder building will be or demolished or revamped.

When DHL aviation should be involved than they had to start with one of the two airside building with tarmac connection who are also in the pipeline.

Don't tell me this is on the Brucargo spotting spot...
